Is-650.a: Building Partnerships with Tribal Governments (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781981980376)

Course Overview Effective partnerships form and evolve because the individual partners have an understanding, appreciation, and respect for one another that is acquired through education and life experiences. This course is designed to provide you with the basic knowledge to: -Build effective partnerships with tribal governments. -Work in concert with tribal governments to protect native people and property against all types of hazards. Throughout this course tribal representatives speak to us about their history, their culture, their way of life, and what we need to know to develop good relationships with tribal communities. These representatives provide insight into tribal communities that have endured great suffering and faced many challenges while remaining proud and committed to caring for one another, their land, and their traditions. Several lessons are devoted to specific program challenges that you may encounter in working with tribal governments to provide financial and technical assistance through the Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation Programs. For example, the course addresses how to let native people who live in remote areas and are not served by traditional print and mass media know about how and where to apply for disaster assistance. The program challenges presented in the course reflect actual experiences of native people and FEMA representatives working together before, during, and after disasters to deliver assistance in Indian Country.
